Remember that ridiculous anti-AARP ad?
You know, the one with "The real AARP agenda" on it?
Well, Angryman at Morons.org files this report.
Y'see, it seems the photo of the gay couple in the ad was never cleared for use.
Then, the paper says, after Montini was told in no uncertain terms that the photograph was not available for commercial use (the Tribune will not sell pictures for such use without the express permission of the people pictured), Montini tried to pay for the photo anyway by sending $600.00 via PayPal. This payment, too, was refunded.
The Tribune points out that the photograph was under copyright and says that its lawyer "is considering how to address the issue".
Meanwhile, Raymen and Hansen are understandably incensed to see their images misused to such a purpose. "We never signed up to be Harry and Louise for a hate-mongering group", said Raymen in a press release last week.
Annnnnnnd the far right makes complete asses of themselves, yet again!
